1Calleigh sat on the couch, waiting for Tim to come home. He hadn't called since 3:30 to tell her to stay in the house and that Rachel was missing.
"Mom?"
She looked up as Nicky came downstairs.
"Nicky, you should be in bed."
"Where's Dad?"
"He's at work." Calleigh replied. Nicky sighed. Again, they were supposed to do some father/son bonding event and Tim missed it. Calleigh knew right now Tim would miss anything to find his sister. "Honey, something happened okay and they need your dad."
"Why? Why can't they use Uncle Eric?"
"Uncle Eric's with him. Come on. Back to bed." Calleigh said, standing up. "You didn't wake your sister up did you?"
Katie had come home with a cold from daycare and was in a grouchy mood. Calleigh was not in the mood to put up with her.
"No." Nicky muttered, letting her lead him back to his bedroom.

Tim tossed another piece of paper at the wall. It was the only way to get his anger out and it wasn't working.
"Well don't you two look like a bump on a log."
"What are you doing here?" Tim asked. "I told you..."
"I know what you told me. Alexx is with them." Calleigh said. "What do you got so far?"
"Absolutely nothing."
"Eric..."
His face was buried in his hands and he wouldn't talk. Calleigh sat next to her brother-in-law.
"Eric..."
"I got to do something." he said, standing up. "We missed something."
"Eric..." Tim started. "We checked from top to bottom."
"Well we're checking again!"
"Eric, listen to me!" Tim yelled. "I want her back too but if there's nothing to start on then there's nothing we can do, at least not yet!"
"She's my wife Tim!"
"Yeah and she's my little sister!"
Calleigh looked between the feuding brother-in-laws. They were about ready to beat the shit out of each other it seemed.
"Will you two shut up?" she finally asked, making them both look at her. "You're acting like a bunch of idiots!"
Tim's mouth dropped slightly and Eric collapsed into a chair.
"Did you check the security tapes from the elevators?" Calleigh asked. Tim and Eric looked at each other and ran out of the room. "And they say I'm bad."
-S/C-
"Where are they?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Rachel snapped.
"Oh you are definitely a Speedle."
"Really? How could you tell?"
"The stubborn way about you and your sarcastic replies."
"I'm not being sarcastic. Trust me. Tim and Eric... they're probably watching a football game right about now." Rachel said, not believing what she was saying. Her captor leaned back in his chair, a small smile on his face.
"You mean to tell me that your brother and husband are not out there looking for you?"
Rachel shrugged.
"That's the way they are."
"Well I could believe about Tim. I wouldn't want to go after my little sister but Eric?" he shook his head. "I know he's in love with you."
"Well ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Probably the first right answer you came out with tonight." Rachel smirked.
-S/C-
Calleigh walked into the A/V lab and sat down next to Tim.
"Got anything?"
"No." he mumbled, his eyes focused on the screen before him. "Where's Eric?"
"I made him go to sleep in the break room. You should get some sleep too." Calleigh said. Tim shook his head.
"I'm not sleeping until I find her."
"Tim..."
"No Calleigh!"
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"Because its in my nature." Tim muttered. "Now let me concentrate."
Calleigh pressed 'pause' on the VCR.
"Calleigh!"
"Listen to me Speedle!"
He went silent. He had seen his wife get nasty with Nicky and it wasn't a pretty sight.
"You cannot sit here all day."
"I can and I intend to! She's my sister. Obviously you don't understand that!"
"Oh its crystal clear to me but Tim you're going to make yourself go crazy. You're going to pass out from exhaustion."
"Then I pass out. Calleigh, I'm not stopping until I find her. I'm serious. You can make Delko go to sleep but you're not making me."
"You are so stubborn!" she exclaimed. "You always have to go through with something!"
"She's my sister Calleigh!" Tim yelled. She took a step back from him.
"I want you home tonight."
"Yeah if I find Rachel."
Calleigh threw her hands up in defeat and stomped out.
